In rural Nepal, an entire village shares a secret. Every family here has at least one member who has sold their kidney to traffickers.
Each year, international organ trafficking gangs convince these poor people to give up a kidney. Sometimes the donors get paid for it, sometimes they don't. But the cost to their health can be devastating.
Most of their kidneys end up in India, often in Kolkata, which has been nicknamed "The Great Kidney Bazaar".
101 East travels the kidney trafficking route, talking to the donors, police, brokers and doctors involved in this bloody black market.

India's building boom has spawned an illegal trade in sand. Plundering the environment and even killing those who get in its way, the "sand mafia" has spread its influence throughout India. Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=journeymanpictures
Sand is the key to the construction industry, but there is no legal supply to meet the increasing demand. Accordingly, criminal gangs are ravaging riverbeds and beaches. Sumaira Abdulali recounts the damage done to her local beach: "the whole level of sand has dropped by about 10 feet ... They’ve really destroyed it". When she tried to report the perpetrators, she was met with fierce resistance. "They bashed up the car, broke everything. They hit all of us. They broke my teeth." Sumaira now campaigns to expose this black-market trade, which harms many living near sand supplies. Brijmohan Yadav, like many farmers in his region, had his plot devastated by illegal sand mining. However, his complaints were ignored: "the mafia is so influential. They have police and local authorities on their side". Brijmohan began to fight for his land, but ended up fighting for his life. "These people kidnapped me and took me to an isolated place. They beat me up and threatened to kill me if I did not stop all this." Whilst there is an almost blanket ban on unlicensed mining across India, in remote, rural areas it continues unabated.

US China in TotalShock of INDIA getting 10000 ElectricCARS . 10,000 electric cars highlight steep path to India's ambitions . Modis make in India electric from tesla Tat coming of 10000 electric cars .
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has kicked off India’s race to turn all new passenger car sales electric cars by 2030. The largest order has gone to a company that hasn’t commercially started producing the vehicles.
Tata MotorsLtd. hasn’t sold a single electric car yet, though Chief Executive OfficerGuenter Butschek says its late-mover status is an advantage at a time when technology advances are leading to a fall in costs. Tata along with Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd-- India’s sole electric carmaker that plans to boost its vehicle manufacturing capacity to 5,000 units a month -- underscore the distance to be covered when compared to China and the U.S.Ramping up production of electric vehicles in a country where carmakers sell 2.5 million fossil fuel powered units annually is just one part of the problem, finding uninterrupted power supply is another. In addition, non-existent charging infrastructure further widens the gap between India and China, the current global leader. It had 336,000 new registrations in 2016, more than double of 160,000 in the U.S., while India had just 450 cars hitting the roads, according to the International Energy Agency.
“The government needs to set up charging infrastructure to make this electric business model sustainable,” said Ram Kidambi, partner at consultancy firm A.T. Kearney. “Indian automotive companies may be able to supply electric vehicles meeting the deadline. But the problem is what do the car owners do without the charging infrastructure?”
The pursuit for all electric new car sales in less than a decade-and-a-half is part of Modi’s plan to champion the cause of combating climate change. Bloomberg New EnergyFinance predicts the target will be “incredibly difficult” in the absence of a clearly defined policy and without subsidies. Chinese firms have benefited from generous funding offered by various regional governments.
India currently has about 350 charging points while China had about 215,000 installed at the end of 2016, according to the BNEF report. It will take about 15 years in India for total cost of ownership for electric vehicles to reach parity with conventional vehicles, around the time the south Asian nation plans to end sale of fossil fueled cars.
India’s EV target appears a little too ambitious, said Pawan Goenka, managing director at automaker Mahindra & Mahindra. "It would be little more moderate, though lot more aggressive growth path than what we have seen in other countries, but more moderate than being 100 percent electric vehicles by 2030."
Modi’s administration is hoping to fast-track change by leading from the front. The government-backed Energy Efficiency Services Ltd. (EESL), which is tasked with helping the nation reduce emissions and curb fuel imports, is buying 10,000 battery-powered cars from Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra to replace petrol and diesel cars used by the federal government in about four years.
Electric vehicles open up a new source of revenue for India’s money-losing power retailers and could attract their enthusiasm in building the charging infrastructure, according to Shantanu Jaiswal, head of India research at Bloomberg New Energy Finance in New Delhi.
“In areas where the traffic volumes are high, it makes good business sense for distribution utilities,” Jaiswal said. “In rural areas though, where concentration of electric cars may not be very high, getting investments may still be a challenge, as we have seen in household electrification.”
Automobile ownership in India remains low, with only 18 cars per 1,000 citizens compared to nearly 69 in China and 786 for the U.S., a study by Niti Aayog, a policy planning body, and Colorado-based Rocky Mountain Institute. The scarcity of privately owned four-wheel vehicles and a large number of two-wheelers will enable Indians to leap frog into electric cars space as higher demand could lead to lower prices.
That’s what Tata and Mahindra are betting on. Tata is running trials of its electric buses after developing the plug-in versions of its Bolt and Tiago hatchback models. Mahindra has plans to expand its capacity to make electric vehicles almost 10-fold to 5,000 units a month in two to three years.
Tata Motors has a two part strategy -- one which includes selling cars to the government-- and then rolling out electric buses and trucks to cater to the mass transportation segment.

The term Indian Trade describes the people involved in the trade. The products involved varied by region and era. In most of Canada the term is synonymous with the fur trade, since fur for making beaver hats was by far the most valuable product of the trade, from the European point of view. Demand for other products resulted in trade in those items: Europeans asked for deerskin in the Southeast coast of the United States, and for buffalo skins and meat, and pemmican on the Great Plains. In turn, Native American demand influenced the trade goods brought by Europeans.

Economic contact between Native Americans and European colonists began in the 16th century and lasted until the late 19th century. Although the relationship between Europeans and Indians was often marred by conflicts, many tribes established peaceful trade relations with the new colonists during the early stages of European settlement. From the 17th to the 19th century, the English and French mainly traded for animal pelts and fur with Native Americans. On the other hand, trading between the Spanish and Native Americans was sporadic and lasted only for a couple of decades. Eventually, wars, the dwindling of Native American populations and the westward expansion of the United States led to the confinement of tribes to reservations and the end of this kind of economic relations between Indians and European Americans.

12 Bizarre Discoveries In India

12 Bizarre Discoveries In India

12 Bizarre Discoveries In India

Inda is an amazing place with plenty of mysterious things waiting to be found still here are 12 incredible archaeological findings!
Subscribe to Talltanic http://goo.gl/wgfvrr
6. AncientSkeletons
In 2015 a group of Indian archeologists found a group of skeletons dating back to the Indus Valley Civilisation. Thought to be one of the earliest civilizations, the Indus Valley Civilisation emerged over 5000 years ago and was located in Pakistan, India, and part of Afghanistan. The skeletons appear to be the remains of a family of three. The team that discovered the skeletons had been working at the site since 2012. It is believed that the remains will provide insights into early human life and development. Along with the remains, toys and figures were discovered among the remains. Archeologists believe that the placement of the object might mean that the ancient civilization believed in reincarnation.
5. Sanchi StupaSanchi is the oldest stone structure in India. It was a central location for Buddhist India for several centuries. After Buddhist lost the prevalence that it once had in India, the temple was abandoned. However, it was rediscovered in 1881 by a British soldier. The structure was made by the order of the emperor Ashoka the Great around the 3rd century BC. Although commissioned by the Emperor, his wife Devi actually oversaw the construction. The temple still remains the largest Buddhist center in India.
4. TwinVillageKodinhi Village is a village in Kerala, India. It is more well known by its well-named nickname, “Twin Village”. It gained its name from the unusually high occurrence of twin births. As of 2008, the village contained 2,000 families and among the citizens were about 250 twins. Although India has one of the lowest rates of twin births, the multiple birth rate in this village is very large. An association of twins was founded in the town called The Twins and Kins Association. Scientists have no explanation for the recurrence of these births. Women who moved away from the village also are known to give birth to twins, doctors believe that the occurrence is caused by chemicals in the water supply. There are currently 79 pairs of twins 10 and under in the village.
3. Deur Kothar
Kothar was discovered in 1982. It is located in Madhya (Ma-dja) Pradesh, Central India. This Buddhist temple is also known for its stupas or dome-shaped structures. The government of India named the location a monument of national importance in 1988 and it has since been preserved by the Archeological Survey of India. The location has since been ongoingly excavated due to its importance to the Buddhist religion. The existence of certain relics, such as toys, jewelry, and coins, hint that this was once an important trade location in ancient India. The location also contained old rock paintings that shed light on the life and technology of past people.
2. Skeleton Lake
A lake in Roopkund, India gained popularity in 1942 when it was discovered that the lake had a startlingly large amount of human skeletons. The lake itself is almost full of skeletons and the area around the lake is piled with them too, the bones actually measure up to 200 human remains in total. The DNA of the bones have been tested and they found a wide array of origins, from locals of the area to people that came from distant places. DNA also revealed that the remains date back to around 850 AD. The cause of death of the skeletons is said to be a large round object, as opposed to any kind of blunt force trauma. Theories still rage and the ensuing popularity of the site raises a conservation problem. Tourists to the site have been stealing the bones at an alarming rate and archeologists want to keep the site intact for further research.
1.Lothal
Lothal, not the location in Star Wars, was the most prominent city in the Indus Valley civilization. Lothal was a port city and a major trade location in the ancient world. The city dates back to 3700BCE. The city was rediscovered in 1954. The dock located in the city is the earliest dock in history. Evidence of trade exists as far as West Asia and Africa. The technology that they used the in the city remained prevalent for over 4000 years. There are remains located on the site that hint at the early stages of navigation and star charting, long believed to be invented by the ancient Greeks. The houses and the buildings also appeared to have an advanced drainage system and contained the earliest bathrooms. The city is regarded to be the most technologically advanced cities in ancient times.

North Korea is a country rich in natural resources, where coal, bauxite and other mineral deposits are abundant..which India will also pursue business relations with North Korea.

HOW CHABAHAR PORT HAS DEALT A MASSIVE BLOW TO PAKISTAN & CPEC?

HOW CHABAHAR PORT HAS DEALT A MASSIVE BLOW TO PAKISTAN & CPEC?

HOW CHABAHAR PORT HAS DEALT A MASSIVE BLOW TO PAKISTAN & CPEC?

INTRODUCTION:
Indian Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson, Raveesh Kumar tweeted “The first consignment of wheat assistance to Afghanistan, flagged off by Indian External Affairs MinisterSushma Swaraj and Afghan Foreign MinisterRabbani, reached Chabahar port”.
A welcome ceremony held at Chabahar port on the landmark occasion was attended by dignitaries from India, Iran and Afghanistan.
The development has significant strategic, diplomatic and economic impact.
In this video, DefenseUpdates analyzes HOW CHABAHAR PORT HAS DEALT A MASSIVEBLOW TO PAKISTAN & CPEC?
NEED & TREATY
A trade route through Pakistan into land-locked Afghanistan would have been the logical step considering the distance of just 990 km between New Delhi and Kabul. The 1.1 million tonnes in 35,000 containers would take lesser time through the land route.
Instead, the first of several consignments was dispatched through the sea route to Chabahar in Iran from where it will enter Afghanistan via a different land route - a total distance of 3,900 KM or more than thrice the all-land distance.
Why was it done? The reason is Pakistan.
Pakistan borders Afghanistan to its south and east and has used its strategic location to have a controlling hand on Kabul in terms of trade. Traditionally, Pakistan has been Afghanistan's biggest supplier of wheat but because of its geo-political positioning, managed to dictate pricing. In 2014 for example, Pakistani wheat was Rs 500 more expensive per tonne than wheat from India. Both Afghanistan and India, quite naturally, wanted to trade in wheat but Pakistan refused to allow passage.
Pakistan repeatedly refused to allow land passage to Afghanistan through its territory each time India asked for it in the last 17 years.
In 2003, India began exploring other options of expanding bilateral trade with Afghanistan - leaving Pakistan on the sidelines. Helping Iran develop the Chabahar Port emerged as a viable alternative even if it meant a longer route.
In it was the birth of a historical trilateral agreement between India, Iran and Afghanistan - signed in May of 2016 - to make use of Chabahar Port for trade and transit into Central Asia and Europe.
"We want to link with the world. (The) agreement …can alter the course of history of the region,” Indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi had said after signing the agreement with Afghan President Ashram Ghani and Iranian PresidentHassan Rouhani.
GAIN FOR IRANEver since the Iran-Iraq was in the early 1980s, Iran has been looking to reduce its dependence on ports in the Persian Gulf. Shifting eastwards has been widely seen as a logical step to ensure the security of trade routes and corridors. Chabahar, therefore, becomes vital for the country.
Partnering India - one of the biggest Asian economies - also is in the best interest of Iran. The port becomes a starting point for several other collaborations. Trade with Russia - a key partner - can also be enhanced.
GAIN FOR AFGANISTAN
Much like Iran, or even more perhaps, Afghanistan understands the need to expand trade with India. In the past, thorny India-Pakistan relations have hampered Kabul and New Delhi from discussing direct trade. Still, India received 46% of Afghan total exports in 2016 - worth USD220 million. This figure may now rise at a rapid pace.
GAIN FOR INDIA
For India, the route represents a strategically attractive opportunity to trade with Afghanistan by bypassing Pakistan. This development comes just weeks after U.S. PresidentDonald Trump outlined a new U.S. strategy for Afghanistan that welcomed a robust role for India economically in the country. Moreover, during his recent visit to New Delhi, U.S. Secretary of StateRex Tillerson reinforced U.S. support for a strong Indian economic presence in Afghanistan.
The route will enable unabated trade with Afghanistan but also open other markets for India.
LOSS FOR PAKISTAN
India-Afghanistan trade through Chabahar Port in Iran is a massive blow to Pakistani designs on a number of levels.
The failure to revive Afghanistan-Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement (APTTA) so far has now come to haunt Islamabad. In the past, Pakistan has dictated terms to Afghanistan - compelling the latter to look elsewhere.
Long opposed to any Indian involvement, but pressured, Pakistan ArmyChief Qamar Javed Baja had started mulling the prospect of involving India.
It may have been just too late.
In such times, Chabahar Port not just further erodes Pakistan’s influence over Kabul but also makes its Gwadar Port, a key part of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) rather irrelevant.

China cant believe of INDIA Getting $2 Trillion Economic Boost

China cant believe of INDIA Getting $2 Trillion Economic Boost

China cant believe of INDIA Getting $2 Trillion Economic Boost

China cant believe of INDIA Getting $2 Trillion Economic Boost . How India can double exports and get it up to a trillion dollars in five years . China cant believe india getting $2 trillion USDInvestment by these methods in 5 years . China in shock of India .
When Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with his Economic Advisory Council for the first time yesterday, reversing the current economic slowdown was top of the agenda. A surge in demand for products and services would be a certain cure for most of the Indian economy's current afflictions: low capacity utilisation, low investments, low production, low job creation or low GDP growth rate.
And there is no better way to pump up demand than catering to orders from all over the world. India can target an export turnover of a trillion dollars by 2022, up from the current $440 billion. Meeting this target will need taking seven steps.
One: Promote manufacturing of products the world buys most - bulk medicines, organic chemicals, engineering, electronic and telecom equipment, and so on. For this, the government would need to announce sector specific incentives and tax breaks and then rope in an anchor firm for each product group. global network and money.
Also promote textiles, leather and other labour-intensive products where manufacturing is shifting from China to lower cost countries. A manufacturing push will also help in diversification and growth of the services sector, which today is mainly the story of IT services exported to the US and EU.
Two: Invest in Global Value Chains (GVC) ready trade infrastructure. India does not produce electronic, telecom and high-tech products as its port-customs infrastructure does not guarantee quick entry and exit of goods. This is critical as parts and sub-assemblies of such products are manufactured in many countries and delay in shipment at one port disrupts manufacturing schedule in another country.
India must also set up a new online platform for processing all regulatory and commercial requirements of exporters. The platform should allow exporters to file all information/documents online doing away with the need to deal with customs, DGFT, shipping companies, sea, air ports, and banks separately.
Three: Focus on improving product quality. Many Indian products fail quality tests due to traces of pesticides, pathogens, illegal dyes, etc. India needs to redesign its quality infrastructure to help firms move to higher quality standards and protect the country from substandard imports.
Four: Reduce cost differentials. Indian exporters pay 5% extra on domestic transport, 5% extra on capital, 2% extra due to working capital blockage caused by GST, and 3-5% extra due to higher RealEffectiveExchange Rate (REER). This 15% extra compared to developed country counterparts makes Indian products less competitive.
Five: Protect interests of exporters in foreign markets. India has 500+ USFDA approved pharmaceutical units, yet Indian medicines quality is always ridiculed and suspected. Big Pharma pushes the US government to apply the harshest possible measures to discourage entry of pharma products from India. Even high-quality products from India face routine rejection in China and many other countries. Trade experts posted in Indian missions must take up such issues with foreign regulatory bodies.
Six: Promote retail exports. Export of small quantities of customised products through courier is the new form of export taken up by thousands of students, housewives and small firms. They export handicrafts, jewellery, ethnic wear, decorative paintings, ayurveda products and so on. Considering the depth of India's artisanal expertise, each product can become a billion dollar plus category.
Seven: Open large product exhibition centres cum markets. Consider facilities offered by the Yiwu market located in Zhejiang, China. It is the world's largest wholesale market where over 1,00,000 suppliers exhibit 4,00,000 kinds of products. Yiwu has tied up with leading logistics firms for shop to door deliveries.
Order at Yiwu, receive at your factory with no hassle of transport and customs. Centres like Yiwu must be an important part of India's market expansion, brand and relationship building strategy.
Consider India's advanced R&D capabilities, diversified manufacturing skill set and extensive vendor base, and a trillion dollar export turnover is a target within reach. Meeting the target would strengthen brand India, create 25 million jobs in manufacturing and 50 million in services, and bring India on a par with the top manufacturing and exporting nations.

Bangladesh's Biggest Brothel - 101 East

Bangladesh's Biggest Brothel - 101 East

Bangladesh's Biggest Brothel - 101 East

The biggest brothel in Bangladesh - and possibly the world.
The town of Daulatdia is home to 1,500 prostitutes, some as young as 10 years old.
In a ramshackle maze of dirty alleyways, women and girls work day and night in tiny cubicles, meeting the men who pour in from the nearby highway.
Many of the prostitutes have always lived there; some were sold into prostitution by their families, and others were abducted from their villages.
101 East goes inside this sprawling brothel to find out how women and their children survive when hope is in short supply.

INDIA, SAUDI ARABIA EMERGE AS LARGEST IMPORTERS OF ARMS IN 2016

Global arms and military services sales rose for the first time since 2010, with India, Saudi Arabia, UAE, China and Algeria emerging as the top importers during the five year period of 2012-2016, a Firstpost analysis of the latest Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) report on global arms sales showed.
Together, these countries accounted for 34 percent of all global imports with India leading the table accounting for 13 percent for all arms imports. Vietnam was a new entry in the top-10 arms importers accounting for 3 percent of all global sales.
Based on sales by the world's 100 biggest arms producers, the report pointed at an increase of 1.9 percent (based on 2015US dollar values) from 2015 with $374.8 billion spent on arms and military services. Based on current US dollar values, the arms sales rose by 1.3 percent.
According to SIPRI's military expenditure database, the volume of transfers of major weapons in 2012–16 was 8.4 percent higher than in 2007–11.
The United States managed its stand as the world's largest spender followed by China and Russia. The US also accounted for largest share of arms sales (33 percent) followed by Russia 23 percent. Interestingly, Saudi Arabia, the fourth largest spender, is the largest client of American arms, accounting for 13 percent of arms sales by US companies. The US also accounted for 14 percent of all Indian purchases, however, it was Russia which led the table accounting for 68 percent of India's arms imports during 2012-2016.
India was also among the top five spenders on arms and military services in 2016 spending $55,923 million in arms and military services.
According to the report, geopolitical tensions in the South China Sea, West Asia, and the Indian sub-continent has fuelled a rise in arms imports in West Asia and the Asia-Oceania, with the two regions contributing to 72 percent of all arms imports during 2012-2016 as compared to 2007-2011.
Though USA, Russia, China, France, and Germany accounted for 74 percent of the total volume of arms exports, a change was witnessed in arms exporters with South Korea maintaining its stand as an emerging arms supplier, whereas Germany and France seeing a decrease in arms sales.

Sand is the key to the construction industry, but there is no legal supply to meet the increasing demand. Accordingly, criminal gangs are ravaging riverbeds and beaches.

US China in TotalShock of INDIA getting 10000 ElectricCARS . 10,000 electric cars highlight steep path to India's ambitions . Modis make in India electric from tesla Tat coming of 10000 electric cars .
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has kicked off India’s race to turn all new passenger car sales electric cars by 2030. The largest order has gone to a company that hasn’t commercially started producing the vehicles.
Tata MotorsLtd. hasn’t sold a single electric car yet, though Chief Executive OfficerGuenter Butschek says its late-mover status is an advantage at a time when technology advances are leading to a fall in costs. Tata along with Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd-- India’s sole electric carmaker that plans to boost its vehicle manufacturing capacity to 5,000 units a month -- underscore the distance to be covered when compared to China and the U.S.Ramping up production of electric vehicles in a country where carmakers sell 2.5 million fossil fuel powered units annually is just one part of the problem, finding uninterrupted power supply is another. In addition, non-existent charging infrastructure further widens the gap between India and China, the current global leader. It had 336,000 new registrations in 2016, more than double of 160,000 in the U.S., while India had just 450 cars hitting the roads, according to the International Energy Agency.
“The government needs to set up charging infrastructure to make this electric business model sustainable,” said Ram Kidambi, partner at consultancy firm A.T. Kearney. “Indian automotive companies may be able to supply electric vehicles meeting the deadline. But the problem is what do the car owners do without the charging infrastructure?”
The pursuit for all electric new car sales in less than a decade-and-a-half is part of Modi’s plan to champion the cause of combating climate change. Bloomberg New EnergyFinance predicts the target will be “incredibly difficult” in the absence of a clearly defined policy and without subsidies. Chinese firms have benefited from generous funding offered by various regional governments.
India currently has about 350 charging points while China had about 215,000 installed at the end of 2016, according to the BNEF report. It will take about 15 years in India for total cost of ownership for electric vehicles to reach parity with conventional vehicles, around the time the south Asian nation plans to end sale of fossil fueled cars.
India’s EV target appears a little too ambitious, said Pawan Goenka, managing director at automaker Mahindra & Mahindra. "It would be little more moderate, though lot more aggressive growth path than what we have seen in other countries, but more moderate than being 100 percent electric vehicles by 2030."
Modi’s administration is hoping to fast-track change by leading from the front. The government-backed Energy Efficiency Services Ltd. (EESL), which is tasked with helping the nation reduce emissions and curb fuel imports, is buying 10,000 battery-powered cars from Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra to replace petrol and diesel cars used by the federal government in about four years.
Electric vehicles open up a new source of revenue for India’s money-losing power retailers and could attract their enthusiasm in building the charging infrastructure, according to Shantanu Jaiswal, head of India research at Bloomberg New Energy Finance in New Delhi.
“In areas where the traffic volumes are high, it makes good business sense for distribution utilities,” Jaiswal said. “In rural areas though, where concentration of electric cars may not be very high, getting investments may still be a challenge, as we have seen in household electrification.”
Automobile ownership in India remains low, with only 18 cars per 1,000 citizens compared to nearly 69 in China and 786 for the U.S., a study by Niti Aayog, a policy planning body, and Colorado-based Rocky Mountain Institute. The scarcity of privately owned four-wheel vehicles and a large number of two-wheelers will enable Indians to leap frog into electric cars space as higher demand could lead to lower prices.
That’s what Tata and Mahindra are betting on. Tata is running trials of its electric buses after developing the plug-in versions of its Bolt and Tiago hatchback models. Mahindra has plans to expand its capacity to make electric vehicles almost 10-fold to 5,000 units a month in two to three years.
Tata Motors has a two part strategy -- one which includes selling cars to the government-- and then rolling out electric buses and trucks to cater to the mass transportation segment.

US China in TotalShock of INDIA getting 10000 ElectricCARS . 10,000 electric cars highlight steep path to India's ambitions . Modis make in India electric from tesla Tat coming of 10000 electric cars .
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has kicked off India’s race to turn all new passenger car sales electric cars by 2030. The largest order has gone to a company that hasn’t commercially started producing the vehicles.
Tata MotorsLtd. hasn’t sold a single electric car yet, though Chief Executive OfficerGuenter Butschek says its late-mover status is an advantage at a time when technology advances are leading to a fall in costs. Tata along with Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd-- India’s sole electric carmaker that plans to boost its vehicle manufacturing capacity to 5,000 units a month -- underscore the distance to be covered when compared to China and the U.S.Ramping up production of electric vehicles in a country where carmakers sell 2.5 million fossil fuel powered units annually is just one part of the problem, finding uninterrupted power supply is another. In addition, non-existent charging infrastructure further widens the gap between India and China, the current global leader. It had 336,000 new registrations in 2016, more than double of 160,000 in the U.S., while India had just 450 cars hitting the roads, according to the International Energy Agency.

6. AncientSkeletons
In 2015 a group of Indian archeologists found a group of skeletons dating back to the Indus Valley Civilisation. Thought to be one of the earliest civilizations, the Indus Valley Civilisation emerged over 5000 years ago and was located in Pakistan, India, and part of Afghanistan. The skeletons appear to be the remains of a family of three. The team that discovered the skeletons had been working at the site since 2012. It is believed that the remains will provide insights into early human life and development. Along with the remains, toys and figures were discovered among the remains. Archeologists believe that the placement of the object might mean that the ancient civilization believed in reincarnation.
5. Sanchi StupaSanchi is the oldest stone structure in India. It was a central location for Buddhist India for several centuries. After Buddhist lost the prevalence that it once had in India, the temple was abandoned. However, it was rediscovered in 1881 by a British soldier. The structure was made by the order of the emperor Ashoka the Great around the 3rd century BC. Although commissioned by the Emperor, his wife Devi actually oversaw the construction. The temple still remains the largest Buddhist center in India.
4. TwinVillageKodinhi Village is a village in Kerala, India. It is more well known by its well-named nickname, “Twin Village”. It gained its name from the unusually high occurrence of twin births. As of 2008, the village contained 2,000 families and among the citizens were about 250 twins. Although India has one of the lowest rates of twin births, the multiple birth rate in this village is very large. An association of twins was founded in the town called The Twins and Kins Association. Scientists have no explanation for the recurrence of these births. Women who moved away from the village also are known to give birth to twins, doctors believe that the occurrence is caused by chemicals in the water supply. There are currently 79 pairs of twins 10 and under in the village.
3. Deur Kothar
Kothar was discovered in 1982. It is located in Madhya (Ma-dja) Pradesh, Central India. This Buddhist temple is also known for its stupas or dome-shaped structures. The government of India named the location a monument of national importance in 1988 and it has since been preserved by the Archeological Survey of India. The location has since been ongoingly excavated due to its importance to the Buddhist religion. The existence of certain relics, such as toys, jewelry, and coins, hint that this was once an important trade location in ancient India. The location also contained old rock paintings that shed light on the life and technology of past people.
2. Skeleton Lake
A lake in Roopkund, India gained popularity in 1942 when it was discovered that the lake had a startlingly large amount of human skeletons. The lake itself is almost full of skeletons and the area around the lake is piled with them too, the bones actually measure up to 200 human remains in total. The DNA of the bones have been tested and they found a wide array of origins, from locals of the area to people that came from distant places. DNA also revealed that the remains date back to around 850 AD. The cause of death of the skeletons is said to be a large round object, as opposed to any kind of blunt force trauma. Theories still rage and the ensuing popularity of the site raises a conservation problem. Tourists to the site have been stealing the bones at an alarming rate and archeologists want to keep the site intact for further research.
1.Lothal
Lothal, not the location in Star Wars, was the most prominent city in the Indus Valley civilization. Lothal was a port city and a major trade location in the ancient world. The city dates back to 3700BCE. The city was rediscovered in 1954. The dock located in the city is the earliest dock in history. Evidence of trade exists as far as West Asia and Africa. The technology that they used the in the city remained prevalent for over 4000 years. There are remains located on the site that hint at the early stages of navigation and star charting, long believed to be invented by the ancient Greeks. The houses and the buildings also appeared to have an advanced drainage system and contained the earliest bathrooms. The city is regarded to be the most technologically advanced cities in ancient times.

INTRODUCTION:
Indian Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson, Raveesh Kumar tweeted “The first consignment of wheat assistance to Afghanistan, flagged off by Indian External Affairs MinisterSushma Swaraj and Afghan Foreign MinisterRabbani, reached Chabahar port”.
A welcome ceremony held at Chabahar port on the landmark occasion was attended by dignitaries from India, Iran and Afghanistan.
The development has significant strategic, diplomatic and economic impact.
In this video, DefenseUpdates analyzes HOW CHABAHAR PORT HAS DEALT A MASSIVEBLOW TO PAKISTAN & CPEC?
NEED & TREATY
A trade route through Pakistan into land-locked Afghanistan would have been the logical step considering the distance of just 990 km between New Delhi and Kabul. The 1.1 million tonnes in 35,000 containers would take lesser time through the land route.
Instead, the first of several consignments was dispatched through the sea route to Chabahar in Iran from where it will enter Afghanistan via a different land route - a total distance of 3,900 KM or more than thrice the all-land distance.
Why was it done? The reason is Pakistan.
Pakistan borders Afghanistan to its south and east and has used its strategic location to have a controlling hand on Kabul in terms of trade. Traditionally, Pakistan has been Afghanistan's biggest supplier of wheat but because of its geo-political positioning, managed to dictate pricing. In 2014 for example, Pakistani wheat was Rs 500 more expensive per tonne than wheat from India. Both Afghanistan and India, quite naturally, wanted to trade in wheat but Pakistan refused to allow passage.
Pakistan repeatedly refused to allow land passage to Afghanistan through its territory each time India asked for it in the last 17 years.
In 2003, India began exploring other options of expanding bilateral trade with Afghanistan - leaving Pakistan on the sidelines. Helping Iran develop the Chabahar Port emerged as a viable alternative even if it meant a longer route.
In it was the birth of a historical trilateral agreement between India, Iran and Afghanistan - signed in May of 2016 - to make use of Chabahar Port for trade and transit into Central Asia and Europe.
"We want to link with the world. (The) agreement …can alter the course of history of the region,” Indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi had said after signing the agreement with Afghan President Ashram Ghani and Iranian PresidentHassan Rouhani.
GAIN FOR IRANEver since the Iran-Iraq was in the early 1980s, Iran has been looking to reduce its dependence on ports in the Persian Gulf. Shifting eastwards has been widely seen as a logical step to ensure the security of trade routes and corridors. Chabahar, therefore, becomes vital for the country.
Partnering India - one of the biggest Asian economies - also is in the best interest of Iran. The port becomes a starting point for several other collaborations. Trade with Russia - a key partner - can also be enhanced.
GAIN FOR AFGANISTAN
Much like Iran, or even more perhaps, Afghanistan understands the need to expand trade with India. In the past, thorny India-Pakistan relations have hampered Kabul and New Delhi from discussing direct trade. Still, India received 46% of Afghan total exports in 2016 - worth USD220 million. This figure may now rise at a rapid pace.
GAIN FOR INDIA
For India, the route represents a strategically attractive opportunity to trade with Afghanistan by bypassing Pakistan. This development comes just weeks after U.S. PresidentDonald Trump outlined a new U.S. strategy for Afghanistan that welcomed a robust role for India economically in the country. Moreover, during his recent visit to New Delhi, U.S. Secretary of StateRex Tillerson reinforced U.S. support for a strong Indian economic presence in Afghanistan.
The route will enable unabated trade with Afghanistan but also open other markets for India.
LOSS FOR PAKISTAN
India-Afghanistan trade through Chabahar Port in Iran is a massive blow to Pakistani designs on a number of levels.
The failure to revive Afghanistan-Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement (APTTA) so far has now come to haunt Islamabad. In the past, Pakistan has dictated terms to Afghanistan - compelling the latter to look elsewhere.
Long opposed to any Indian involvement, but pressured, Pakistan ArmyChief Qamar Javed Baja had started mulling the prospect of involving India.
It may have been just too late.
In such times, Chabahar Port not just further erodes Pakistan’s influence over Kabul but also makes its Gwadar Port, a key part of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) rather irrelevant.

China cant believe of INDIA Getting $2 Trillion Economic Boost . How India can double exports and get it up to a trillion dollars in five years . China cant believe india getting $2 trillion USDInvestment by these methods in 5 years . China in shock of India .
When Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with his Economic Advisory Council for the first time yesterday, reversing the current economic slowdown was top of the agenda. A surge in demand for products and services would be a certain cure for most of the Indian economy's current afflictions: low capacity utilisation, low investments, low production, low job creation or low GDP growth rate.
And there is no better way to pump up demand than catering to orders from all over the world. India can target an export turnover of a trillion dollars by 2022, up from the current $440 billion. Meeting this target will need taking seven steps.
One: Promote manufacturing of products the world buys most - bulk medicines, organic chemicals, engineering, electronic and telecom equipment, and so on. For this, the government would need to announce sector specific incentives and tax breaks and then rope in an anchor firm for each product group. global network and money.
Also promote textiles, leather and other labour-intensive products where manufacturing is shifting from China to lower cost countries. A manufacturing push will also help in diversification and growth of the services sector, which today is mainly the story of IT services exported to the US and EU.
Two: Invest in Global Value Chains (GVC) ready trade infrastructure. India does not produce electronic, telecom and high-tech products as its port-customs infrastructure does not guarantee quick entry and exit of goods. This is critical as parts and sub-assemblies of such products are manufactured in many countries and delay in shipment at one port disrupts manufacturing schedule in another country.
India must also set up a new online platform for processing all regulatory and commercial requirements of exporters. The platform should allow exporters to file all information/documents online doing away with the need to deal with customs, DGFT, shipping companies, sea, air ports, and banks separately.
Three: Focus on improving product quality. Many Indian products fail quality tests due to traces of pesticides, pathogens, illegal dyes, etc. India needs to redesign its quality infrastructure to help firms move to higher quality standards and protect the country from substandard imports.
Four: Reduce cost differentials. Indian exporters pay 5% extra on domestic transport, 5% extra on capital, 2% extra due to working capital blockage caused by GST, and 3-5% extra due to higher RealEffectiveExchange Rate (REER). This 15% extra compared to developed country counterparts makes Indian products less competitive.
Five: Protect interests of exporters in foreign markets. India has 500+ USFDA approved pharmaceutical units, yet Indian medicines quality is always ridiculed and suspected. Big Pharma pushes the US government to apply the harshest possible measures to discourage entry of pharma products from India. Even high-quality products from India face routine rejection in China and many other countries. Trade experts posted in Indian missions must take up such issues with foreign regulatory bodies.
Six: Promote retail exports. Export of small quantities of customised products through courier is the new form of export taken up by thousands of students, housewives and small firms. They export handicrafts, jewellery, ethnic wear, decorative paintings, ayurveda products and so on. Considering the depth of India's artisanal expertise, each product can become a billion dollar plus category.
Seven: Open large product exhibition centres cum markets. Consider facilities offered by the Yiwu market located in Zhejiang, China. It is the world's largest wholesale market where over 1,00,000 suppliers exhibit 4,00,000 kinds of products. Yiwu has tied up with leading logistics firms for shop to door deliveries.
Order at Yiwu, receive at your factory with no hassle of transport and customs. Centres like Yiwu must be an important part of India's market expansion, brand and relationship building strategy.
Consider India's advanced R&D capabilities, diversified manufacturing skill set and extensive vendor base, and a trillion dollar export turnover is a target within reach. Meeting the target would strengthen brand India, create 25 million jobs in manufacturing and 50 million in services, and bring India on a par with the top manufacturing and exporting nations.

This 15% extra compared to developed country counterparts makes Indian products less competitive.
Five: Protect interests of exporters in foreign markets. India has 500+ USFDA approved pharmaceutical units, yet Indian medicines quality is always ridiculed and suspected. Big Pharma pushes the US government to apply the harshest possible measures to discourage entry of pharma products from India. Even high-quality products from India face routine rejection in China and many other countries. Trade experts posted in Indian missions must take up such issues with foreign regulatory bodies.
Six: Promote retail exports. Export of small quantities of customised products through courier is the new form of export taken up by thousands of students, housewives and small firms. They export handicrafts, jewellery, ethnic wear, decorative paintings, ayurveda products and so on. Considering the depth of India's artisanal expertise, each product can become a billion dollar plus category.
Seven: Open large product exhibition centres cum markets. Consider facilities offered by the Yiwu market located in Zhejiang, China. It is the world's largest wholesale market where over 1,00,000 suppliers exhibit 4,00,000 kinds of products. Yiwu has tied up with leading logistics firms for shop to door deliveries.
Order at Yiwu, receive at your factory with no hassle of transport and customs. Centres like Yiwu must be an important part of India's market expansion, brand and relationship building strategy.
Consider India's advanced R&D capabilities, diversified manufacturing skill set and extensive vendor base, and a trillion dollar export turnover is a target within reach. Meeting the target would strengthen brand India, create 25 million jobs in manufacturing and 50 million in services, and bring India on a par with the top manufacturing and exporting nations.

The biggest brothel in Bangladesh - and possibly the world.
The town of Daulatdia is home to 1,500 prostitutes, some as young as 10 years old.
In a ramshackle maze of dirty alleyways, women and girls work day and night in tiny cubicles, meeting the men who pour in from the nearby highway.
Many of the prostitutes have always lived there; some were sold into prostitution by their families, and others were abducted from their villages.
101 East goes inside this sprawling brothel to find out how women and their children survive when hope is in short supply.

Global arms and military services sales rose for the first time since 2010, with India, Saudi Arabia, UAE, China and Algeria emerging as the top importers during the five year period of 2012-2016, a Firstpost analysis of the latest Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) report on global arms sales showed.
Together, these countries accounted for 34 percent of all global imports with India leading the table accounting for 13 percent for all arms imports. Vietnam was a new entry in the top-10 arms importers accounting for 3 percent of all global sales.
Based on sales by the world's 100 biggest arms producers, the report pointed at an increase of 1.9 percent (based on 2015US dollar values) from 2015 with $374.8 billion spent on arms and military services. Based on current US dollar values, the arms sales rose by 1.3 percent.
According to SIPRI's military expenditure database, the volume of transfers of major weapons in 2012–16 was 8.4 percent higher than in 2007–11.
The United States managed its stand as the world's largest spender followed by China and Russia. The US also accounted for largest share of arms sales (33 percent) followed by Russia 23 percent. Interestingly, Saudi Arabia, the fourth largest spender, is the largest client of American arms, accounting for 13 percent of arms sales by US companies. The US also accounted for 14 percent of all Indian purchases, however, it was Russia which led the table accounting for 68 percent of India's arms imports during 2012-2016.
India was also among the top five spenders on arms and military services in 2016 spending $55,923 million in arms and military services.
According to the report, geopolitical tensions in the South China Sea, West Asia, and the Indian sub-continent has fuelled a rise in arms imports in West Asia and the Asia-Oceania, with the two regions contributing to 72 percent of all arms imports during 2012-2016 as compared to 2007-2011.
Though USA, Russia, China, France, and Germany accounted for 74 percent of the total volume of arms exports, a change was witnessed in arms exporters with South Korea maintaining its stand as an emerging arms supplier, whereas Germany and France seeing a decrease in arms sales.

Special Report - Labour Laws and ‘Make in India’

The government's key labour reforms bills on industrial relations, wages code, small factories and EPF are likely to be introduced in the coming monsoon session of the Parliament.

India's building boom has spawned an illegal trade in sand. Plundering the environment and even killing those who get in its way, the "sand mafia" has spread its influence throughout India. Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=journeymanpictures
Sand is the key to the construction industry, but there is no legal supply to meet the increasing demand. Accordingly, criminal gangs are ravaging riverbeds and beaches. Sumaira Abdulali recounts the damage done to her local beach: "the whole level of sand has dropped by about 10 feet ... They’ve really destroyed it". When she tried to report the perpetrators, she was met with fierce resistance. "They bashed up the car, broke everything. They hit all of us. They broke my teeth." Sumaira now campaigns to...

Asia's Kidney Black Market -101 East

In rural Nepal, an entire village shares a secret. Every family here has at least one member who has sold their kidney to traffickers.
Each year, international organ trafficking gangs convince these poor people to give up a kidney. Sometimes the donors get paid for it, sometimes they don't. But the cost to their health can be devastating.
Most of their kidneys end up in India, often in Kolkata, which has been nicknamed "The Great Kidney Bazaar".
101 East travels the kidney trafficking route, talking to the donors, police, brokers and doctors involved in this bloody black market.

Counting the Cost - India's rising power in Africa

In an attempt to boost trade and investment opportunities abroad, India has welcomed heads of state, policymakers, and businessmen from every country in Africa, marking the largest ever India-Africa summit.
Leaders from some 54 nations descended on New Delhi this week for a summit aimed at ushering in a 'partnership of prosperity' for Africa and Africans.
In contrast to the economic powerhouse China, which has been accused of exploiting the continent's vast mineral and energy resources, India positioned itself as a fairer partner to a continent tipped as the global economic growth engine of the coming decades.
With an estimated population of 1.1 billion, Africa's total GDP is worth over $2.8tn and has been growing at over 5 percent every year.
And with India's trade with the continent ...

H2WOE India's Water Crisis: A Warning To The World

Watch more films about India: https://rtd.rt.com/tags/india/
The Indian state of Punjab is undergoing a severe water crisis. Once an agricultural leader in India, it’s now turning into a desert. Farmers and other rural dwellers are going bankrupt over the need to pay for water delivered from other regions. In this drastic situation, the number of suicides has skyrocketed, but the authorities deny that people are killing themselves over the water shortage.
Water has become a luxury for the people in the Indian state of Punjab. Thousands of villages here rely on water deliveries from elsewhere. People have to pay exorbitant prices for water that their state once had in abundance. Farmers can no longer afford to grow food, their crops are dying and they are left with enormous debts.

However, his complaints were ignored: "the mafia is so influential. They have police and local authorities on their side". Brijmohan began to fight for his land, but ended up fighting for his life. "These people kidnapped me and took me to an isolated place. They beat me up and threatened to kill me if I did not stop all this." Whilst there is an almost blanket ban on unlicensed mining across India, in remote, rural areas it continues unabated.

People & Power investigates India's Hindu fundamentalists and their influence on the country's government.
Since Narendra Modi, a Hindu nationalist and leader of the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), became prime minister of India in May 2014, groups of radical Hindu nationalists have been terrorising religious minorities across the country.
According to a leading Christian rights group, at least 600 such attacks took place between Modi's election and August of this year. One-hundred-and forty-nine of these assaults were against Christians; the rest were targeted at the country's Muslim community.
The attacks, say critics, are being orchestrated by radical groups affiliated to Hindu nationalist and political pressure group: the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
Prime Minister Modi is a lifelong member of the RSS and the backing of its members was crucial in helping his BJP party win the 2014 election. Since then, emboldened by the result, Modi's most extreme nationalist supporters have routinely taken to the streets, using violence and intimidation to press their claim for a purely Hindu India.
Muslims have been forced to convert to Hinduism, homes burnt down and people even murdered for allegedly consuming beef; cows having special status in the Hindu faith.
Hindu nationalist summer camps for girls take place across India, all operated by an organisation called the Durga Vahini [Al Jazeera]
Meanwhile, Hindu nationalists have been rewriting school textbooks in some states and holding training camps for teenage boys and girls in an apparent attempt to inculcate children into their cause.
We asked Indian filmmaker and journalist Mandakini Gahlot, herself a Hindu, to go in search of those who want a purely Hindu nation and find out what their resurgence means for the future of the world's most populous secular democracy.

The attacks, say critics, are being orchestrated by radical groups affiliated to Hindu nationalist and political pressure group: the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
Prime Minister Modi is a lifelong member of the RSS and the backing of its members was crucial in helping his BJP party win the 2014 election. Since then, emboldened by the result, Modi's most extreme nationalist supporters have routinely taken to the streets, using violence and intimidation to press their claim for a purely Hindu India.
Muslims have been forced to convert to Hinduism, homes burnt down and people even murdered for allegedly consuming beef; cows having special status in the Hindu faith.

Meanwhile, Hindu nationalists have been rewriting school textbooks in some states and holding training camps for teenage boys and girls in an apparent attempt to inculcate children into their cause.
We asked Indian filmmaker and journalist Mandakini Gahlot, herself a Hindu, to go in search of those who want a purely Hindu nation and find out what their resurgence means for the future of the world's most populous secular democracy.

The India-Japan relationship has been described as the fastest growing strategic partnership in Asia. This event, which marks the public launch of a new National Defense University (NDU) report on this key bilateral relationship, will review the current dynamics of India-Japan relations and implications for Washington as well as Beijing. The event, part of the Wilson Center's India in Asia initiative, will also discuss early signaling from the Trump administration toward India, Japan, and China and what this could all mean for Washington's position toward the India-Japan relationship. Thomas Lynch, the NDU report's co-author, will discuss the publication's major takeaways and recommendations. Nirupama Rao and Shihoko Goto will assess current thinking about the relationship in New Delhi and Tokyo, respectively.

The Indian state of Punjab is undergoing a severe water crisis. Once an agricultural leader in India, it’s now turning into a desert. Farmers and other rural dwellers are going bankrupt over the need to pay for water delivered from other regions. In this drastic situation, the number of suicides has skyrocketed, but the authorities deny that people are killing themselves over the water shortage.
Water has become a luxury for the people in the Indian state of Punjab. Thousands of villages here rely on water deliveries from elsewhere. People have to pay exorbitant prices for water that their state once had in abundance. Farmers can no longer afford to grow food, their crops are dying and they are left with enormous debts. The devastation has led many to take their own lives. Meanwhile the authorities turn a blind eye to the mass suicides.
The reasons behind the crisis are a combination of an unintended consequence of the green revolution in India and global climate change. The agricultural infrastructure built by the government is not effective. Traditional methods of gathering and preserving rainwater offer rural dwellers some relief, but cease to be sufficient during a drought.
The drastic water shortage dictates people’s lives here, with many spending significant amounts of their time on obtaining water: whether it be queueing for a tanker, waiting their turn at a half-dried well or digging reservoirs by hand in the hope of collecting some rainwater. To ensure their families’ survival, they come up with desperate arrangements – such as polygamous marriages; and have to prioritise what to spend their precious water on. RT Doc crew visits the sun-scorched Punjab to see with their own eyes how the task of obtaining water for their households became a matter of life or death for the people living there.

Robert Kaplan on Monsoon: The Indian Ocean and the Future of Power - John Adams Institute

“The Relevance of History for Indian Foreign Policy”, a Conversation with Dr. Ramachandra Guha.
In this video conversation, Dr. Guha joins UNU Rector David M. Malone for a conversation on the past and present of India’s foreign policy. The conversation considers the twenty-first century relevance of Jawaharlal Nehru’s non-alignment policy, and examines how India fits into the US’s ‘pivot to Asia’. The conversation explores the role of the growing and wealthy Indian diaspora in shaping India’s foreign policy as well as the roots of India’s enduring conflicts with Pakistan and China, and how these conflicts might be overcome.
Dr. Guha’s book India After Gandhi (2007) is widely considered the most impressive survey of India’s history after independence in 1947. His recent book Gandhi Before India (2013), universally praised, looks at an earlier period during which the Mahatma developed into the political and social leader who foremost swept India to independence.
India is the world’s largest and perhaps most unlikely democracy, influenced by a long tradition of political thinkers who addressed issues confronting Indian society as it pushed towards modernization and connections with the outside world. India’s state foreign policy was largely built upon the same intellectual legacy, but how does that legacy continue to guide India’s modern global relations?

The biggest brothel in Bangladesh - and possibly the world.
The town of Daulatdia is home to 1,500 prostitutes, some as young as 10 years old.
In a ramshackle maze of dirty alleyways, women and girls work day and night in tiny cubicles, meeting the men who pour in from the nearby highway.
Many of the prostitutes have always lived there; some were sold into prostitution by their families, and others were abducted from their villages.
101 East goes inside this sprawling brothel to find out how women and their children survive when hope is in short supply.

Well, they did also use some traditional methods like violently enforced monopolies, unfair trade agreements, and plain old warfare. You'll learn how the Dutch invented stuff like joint stock corporations, maritime insurance, and futures trading. Basically, how the Dutch East India Company crashed the US economy in 2008.

Asia's Kidney Black Market -101 East

In rural Nepal, an entire village shares a secret. Every family here has at least one member who has sold their kidney to traffickers.
Each year, international organ trafficking gangs convince these poor people to give up a kidney. Sometimes the donors get paid for it, sometimes they don't. But the cost to their health can be devastating.
Most of their kidneys end up in India, often in Kolkata, which has been nicknamed "The Great Kidney Bazaar".
101 East travels the kidney trafficking route, talking to the donors, police, brokers and doctors involved in this bloody black market.

India's building boom has spawned an illegal trade in sand. Plundering the environment and even killing those who get in its way, the "sand mafia" has spread its influence throughout India. Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=journeymanpictures
Sand is the key to the construction industry, but there is no legal supply to meet the increasing demand. Accordingly, criminal gangs are ravaging riverbeds and beaches. Sumaira Abdulali recounts the damage done to her local beach: "the whole level of sand has dropped by about 10 feet ... They’ve really destroyed it". When she tried to report the perpetrators, she was met with fierce resistance. "They bashed up the car, broke everything. They hit all of us. They broke my teeth." Sumaira now campaigns to expose this black-market trade, which harms many living near sand supplies. Brijmohan Yadav, like many farmers in his region, had his plot devastated by illegal sand mining. However, his complaints were ignored: "the mafia is so influential. They have police and local authorities on their side". Brijmohan began to fight for his land, but ended up fighting for his life. "These people kidnapped me and took me to an isolated place. They beat me up and threatened to kill me if I did not stop all this." Whilst there is an almost blanket ban on unlicensed mining across India, in remote, rural areas it continues unabated.

US China in Total Shock of INDIA getting 10000 Electric CARS

US China in TotalShock of INDIA getting 10000 ElectricCARS . 10,000 electric cars highlight steep path to India's ambitions . Modis make in India electric from tesla Tat coming of 10000 electric cars .
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has kicked off India’s race to turn all new passenger car sales electric cars by 2030. The largest order has gone to a company that hasn’t commercially started producing the vehicles.
Tata MotorsLtd. hasn’t sold a single electric car yet, though Chief Executive OfficerGuenter Butschek says its late-mover status is an advantage at a time when technology advances are leading to a fall in costs. Tata along with Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd-- India’s sole electric carmaker that plans to boost its vehicle manufacturing capacity to 5,000 units a month -- underscore the distance to be covered when compared to China and the U.S.Ramping up production of electric vehicles in a country where carmakers sell 2.5 million fossil fuel powered units annually is just one part of the problem, finding uninterrupted power supply is another. In addition, non-existent charging infrastructure further widens the gap between India and China, the current global leader. It had 336,000 new registrations in 2016, more than double of 160,000 in the U.S., while India had just 450 cars hitting the roads, according to the International Energy Agency.
“The government needs to set up charging infrastructure to make this electric business model sustainable,” said Ram Kidambi, partner at consultancy firm A.T. Kearney. “Indian automotive companies may be able to supply electric vehicles meeting the deadline. But the problem is what do the car owners do without the charging infrastructure?”
The pursuit for all electric new car sales in less than a decade-and-a-half is part of Modi’s plan to champion the cause of combating climate change. Bloomberg New EnergyFinance predicts the target will be “incredibly difficult” in the absence of a clearly defined policy and without subsidies. Chinese firms have benefited from generous funding offered by various regional governments.
India currently has about 350 charging points while China had about 215,000 installed at the end of 2016, according to the BNEF report. It will take about 15 years in India for total cost of ownership for electric vehicles to reach parity with conventional vehicles, around the time the south Asian nation plans to end sale of fossil fueled cars.
India’s EV target appears a little too ambitious, said Pawan Goenka, managing director at automaker Mahindra & Mahindra. "It would be little more moderate, though lot more aggressive growth path than what we have seen in other countries, but more moderate than being 100 percent electric vehicles by 2030."
Modi’s administration is hoping to fast-track change by leading from the front. The government-backed Energy Efficiency Services Ltd. (EESL), which is tasked with helping the nation reduce emissions and curb fuel imports, is buying 10,000 battery-powered cars from Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra to replace petrol and diesel cars used by the federal government in about four years.
Electric vehicles open up a new source of revenue for India’s money-losing power retailers and could attract their enthusiasm in building the charging infrastructure, according to Shantanu Jaiswal, head of India research at Bloomberg New Energy Finance in New Delhi.
“In areas where the traffic volumes are high, it makes good business sense for distribution utilities,” Jaiswal said. “In rural areas though, where concentration of electric cars may not be very high, getting investments may still be a challenge, as we have seen in household electrification.”
Automobile ownership in India remains low, with only 18 cars per 1,000 citizens compared to nearly 69 in China and 786 for the U.S., a study by Niti Aayog, a policy planning body, and Colorado-based Rocky Mountain Institute. The scarcity of privately owned four-wheel vehicles and a large number of two-wheelers will enable Indians to leap frog into electric cars space as higher demand could lead to lower prices.
That’s what Tata and Mahindra are betting on. Tata is running trials of its electric buses after developing the plug-in versions of its Bolt and Tiago hatchback models. Mahindra has plans to expand its capacity to make electric vehicles almost 10-fold to 5,000 units a month in two to three years.
Tata Motors has a two part strategy -- one which includes selling cars to the government-- and then rolling out electric buses and trucks to cater to the mass transportation segment.

12 Bizarre Discoveries In India

Inda is an amazing place with plenty of mysterious things waiting to be found still here are 12 incredible archaeological findings!
Subscribe to Talltanic http://goo.gl/wgfvrr
6. AncientSkeletons
In 2015 a group of Indian archeologists found a group of skeletons dating back to the Indus Valley Civilisation. Thought to be one of the earliest civilizations, the Indus Valley Civilisation emerged over 5000 years ago and was located in Pakistan, India, and part of Afghanistan. The skeletons appear to be the remains of a family of three. The team that discovered the skeletons had been working at the site since 2012. It is believed that the remains will provide insights into early human life and development. Along with the remains, toys and figures were discovered among the remains. Archeologists believe that the placement of the object might mean that the ancient civilization believed in reincarnation.
5. Sanchi StupaSanchi is the oldest stone structure in India. It was a central location for Buddhist India for several centuries. After Buddhist lost the prevalence that it once had in India, the temple was abandoned. However, it was rediscovered in 1881 by a British soldier. The structure was made by the order of the emperor Ashoka the Great around the 3rd century BC. Although commissioned by the Emperor, his wife Devi actually oversaw the construction. The temple still remains the largest Buddhist center in India.
4. TwinVillageKodinhi Village is a village in Kerala, India. It is more well known by its well-named nickname, “Twin Village”. It gained its name from the unusually high occurrence of twin births. As of 2008, the village contained 2,000 families and among the citizens were about 250 twins. Although India has one of the lowest rates of twin births, the multiple birth rate in this village is very large. An association of twins was founded in the town called The Twins and Kins Association. Scientists have no explanation for the recurrence of these births. Women who moved away from the village also are known to give birth to twins, doctors believe that the occurrence is caused by chemicals in the water supply. There are currently 79 pairs of twins 10 and under in the village.
3. Deur Kothar
Kothar was discovered in 1982. It is located in Madhya (Ma-dja) Pradesh, Central India. This Buddhist temple is also known for its stupas or dome-shaped structures. The government of India named the location a monument of national importance in 1988 and it has since been preserved by the Archeological Survey of India. The location has since been ongoingly excavated due to its importance to the Buddhist religion. The existence of certain relics, such as toys, jewelry, and coins, hint that this was once an important trade location in ancient India. The location also contained old rock paintings that shed light on the life and technology of past people.
2. Skeleton Lake
A lake in Roopkund, India gained popularity in 1942 when it was discovered that the lake had a startlingly large amount of human skeletons. The lake itself is almost full of skeletons and the area around the lake is piled with them too, the bones actually measure up to 200 human remains in total. The DNA of the bones have been tested and they found a wide array of origins, from locals of the area to people that came from distant places. DNA also revealed that the remains date back to around 850 AD. The cause of death of the skeletons is said to be a large round object, as opposed to any kind of blunt force trauma. Theories still rage and the ensuing popularity of the site raises a conservation problem. Tourists to the site have been stealing the bones at an alarming rate and archeologists want to keep the site intact for further research.
1.Lothal
Lothal, not the location in Star Wars, was the most prominent city in the Indus Valley civilization. Lothal was a port city and a major trade location in the ancient world. The city dates back to 3700BCE. The city was rediscovered in 1954. The dock located in the city is the earliest dock in history. Evidence of trade exists as far as West Asia and Africa. The technology that they used the in the city remained prevalent for over 4000 years. There are remains located on the site that hint at the early stages of navigation and star charting, long believed to be invented by the ancient Greeks. The houses and the buildings also appeared to have an advanced drainage system and contained the earliest bathrooms. The city is regarded to be the most technologically advanced cities in ancient times.

North Korea is a country rich in natural resources, where coal, bauxite and other mineral deposits are abundant..which India will also pursue business relations with North Korea.

Sand is the key to the construction industry, but there is no legal supply to meet the increasing demand. Accordingly, criminal gangs are ravaging riverbeds and beaches. Sumaira Abdulali recounts the damage done to her local beach: "the whole level of sand has dropped by about 10 feet ... They’ve really destroyed it". When she tried to report the perpetrators, she was met with fierce resistance. "They bashed up the car, broke everything. They hit all of us. They broke my teeth." Sumaira now campaigns to expose this black-market trade, which harms many living near sand supplies. Brijmohan Yadav, like many farmers in his region, had his plot devastated by illegal sand mining. However, his complaints were ignored: "the mafia is so influential. They have police and local authorities on their side". Brijmohan began to fight for his land, but ended up fighting for his life. "These people kidnapped me and took me to an isolated place. They beat me up and threatened to kill me if I did not stop all this." Whilst there is an almost blanket ban on unlicensed mining across India, in remote, rural areas it continues unabated.

Asia's Kidney Black Market -101 East

In rural Nepal, an entire village shares a secret. Every family here has at least one member who has sold their kidney to traffickers.
Each year, international organ trafficking gangs convince these poor people to give up a kidney. Sometimes the donors get paid for it, sometimes they don't. But the cost to their health can be devastating.
Most of their kidneys end up in India, often in Kolkata, which has been nicknamed "The Great Kidney Bazaar".
101 East travels the kidney trafficking route, talking to the donors, police, brokers and doctors involved in this bloody black market.

Counting the Cost - India's rising power in Africa

In an attempt to boost trade and investment opportunities abroad, India has welcomed heads of state, policymakers, and businessmen from every country in Africa, marking the largest ever India-Africa summit.
Leaders from some 54 nations descended on New Delhi this week for a summit aimed at ushering in a 'partnership of prosperity' for Africa and Africans.
In contrast to the economic powerhouse China, which has been accused of exploiting the continent's vast mineral and energy resources, India positioned itself as a fairer partner to a continent tipped as the global economic growth engine of the coming decades.
With an estimated population of 1.1 billion, Africa's total GDP is worth over $2.8tn and has been growing at over 5 percent every year.
And with India's trade with the continent worth $71bn a year, it believes Africa will help its economy grow faster and is targeting around $90bn by the end of 2015.
Razia Khan, an economist and head of Africa research at Standard Chartered Bank, joins Counting the Cost to discuss India's pragmatic approach to Africa.

People and Power - India’s Hindu Fundamentalists

People & Power investigates India's Hindu fundamentalists and their influence on the country's government.
Since Narendra Modi, a Hindu nationalist and leader of the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), became prime minister of India in May 2014, groups of radical Hindu nationalists have been terrorising religious minorities across the country.
According to a leading Christian rights group, at least 600 such attacks took place between Modi's election and August of this year. One-hundred-and forty-nine of these assaults were against Christians; the rest were targeted at the country's Muslim community.
The attacks, say critics, are being orchestrated by radical groups affiliated to Hindu nationalist and political pressure group: the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
Prime Minister Modi is a lifelong member of the RSS and the backing of its members was crucial in helping his BJP party win the 2014 election. Since then, emboldened by the result, Modi's most extreme nationalist supporters have routinely taken to the streets, using violence and intimidation to press their claim for a purely Hindu India.
Muslims have been forced to convert to Hinduism, homes burnt down and people even murdered for allegedly consuming beef; cows having special status in the Hindu faith.

Meanwhile, Hindu nationalists have been rewriting school textbooks in some states and holding training camps for teenage boys and girls in an apparent attempt to inculcate children into their cause.
We asked Indian filmmaker and journalist Mandakini Gahlot, herself a Hindu, to go in search of those who want a purely Hindu nation and find out what their resurgence means for the future of the world's most populous secular democracy.

India-Japan Strategic Cooperation and Implications for Washington and Beijing

The India-Japan relationship has been described as the fastest growing strategic partnership in Asia. This event, which marks the public launch of a new National Defense University (NDU) report on this key bilateral relationship, will review the current dynamics of India-Japan relations and implications for Washington as well as Beijing. The event, part of the Wilson Center's India in Asia initiative, will also discuss early signaling from the Trump administration toward India, Japan, and China and what this could all mean for Washington's position toward the India-Japan relationship. Thomas Lynch, the NDU report's co-author, will discuss the publication's major takeaways and recommendations. Nirupama Rao and Shihoko Goto will assess current thinking about the relationship in New Delhi and Tokyo, respectively.

H2WOE India's Water Crisis: A Warning To The World

Watch more films about India: https://rtd.rt.com/tags/india/
The Indian state of Punjab is undergoing a severe water crisis. Once an agricultural leader in India, it’s now turning into a desert. Farmers and other rural dwellers are going bankrupt over the need to pay for water delivered from other regions. In this drastic situation, the number of suicides has skyrocketed, but the authorities deny that people are killing themselves over the water shortage.
Water has become a luxury for the people in the Indian state of Punjab. Thousands of villages here rely on water deliveries from elsewhere. People have to pay exorbitant prices for water that their state once had in abundance. Farmers can no longer afford to grow food, their crops are dying and they are left with enormous debts. The devastation has led many to take their own lives. Meanwhile the authorities turn a blind eye to the mass suicides.
The reasons behind the crisis are a combination of an unintended consequence of the green revolution in India and global climate change. The agricultural infrastructure built by the government is not effective. Traditional methods of gathering and preserving rainwater offer rural dwellers some relief, but cease to be sufficient during a drought.
The drastic water shortage dictates people’s lives here, with many spending significant amounts of their time on obtaining water: whether it be queueing for a tanker, waiting their turn at a half-dried well or digging reservoirs by hand in the hope of collecting some rainwater. To ensure their families’ survival, they come up with desperate arrangements – such as polygamous marriages; and have to prioritise what to spend their precious water on. RT Doc crew visits the sun-scorched Punjab to see with their own eyes how the task of obtaining water for their households became a matter of life or death for the people living there.
